No. 1 Oregon (10-0) vs. No. 14 Stanford (8-2): The Ducks can clinch the Pac 12 North with a win. They’ve beaten the Cardinal nine of the last 10 times they've played. As long as they play a smidgeon of defense, the Ducks win this easily. The Ducks are averaging more points in the first half than 87 FBS teams do for entire games.

No. 2 Kansas State (10-0) at Baylor (4-5): KSU must beat Baylor and then win at home vs. Texas Dec. 1 to get into the BCS title game. The Wildcats have lost two straight at Baylor, so they won’t overlook a team trying to get bowl eligible. Will SI jinx get Kansas State quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Collin Klein, this year’s version of Tim Tebow? The dude didn’t kiss a girl until his weddin’ night.

No. 3 Notre Dame (10-0) vs. Wake Forest (5-5): Fighting Irish need a group of pious women to organize a novena or get a lot of help from others to reach BCS game, unless coach Brian Kelly can lobby and smooth-talk polsters that his No.1-ranked defense (in scoring, 11.1 ppg) deserves a shot. Irish can go unbeaten at home for first time since 1998. Demon Deacons won’t get in the way.

No. 4 Alabama (9-1) vs. Western Carolina (1-9): Unofficial bye week for the former NFL team in Tuscaloosa. Tide coach Nick Saban said his side seemed out of gas before the loss to Texas A&M. They’ve outscored the Catamounts (name for East Coast mountain lion) 104-6 in last two. Check Roll Tide here.

No. 5 Georgia (8-2) vs. Georgia Southern (8-2): The Bulldogs are coming off a stellar 38-0 drubbing of awful Auburn. Now they get the triple-option, high-octane offense of Georgia Southern, a team the 'Dawgs have beaten like a drum in four previous meetings. Duel with Alabama looms in SEC title game.

No. 6 Florida (9-1) vs. Jacksonville State (6-4): This is the first meeting for two Florida teams. QB Jacoby Brissett replaces injured QB Jeff Driskel (ankle sprain). Brissett isn’t as mobile as Driskel, but more of a pure passer. The Gators have never lost to an FCS opponent and shouldn’t lose here.

No. 7 LSU (8-2) vs. Ole Miss (5-5): The Tigers have an outside chance to win the SEC West and play Georgia for SEC title, but it’s so far-fetched it’s not worth getting into now. The Rebles have been pesky foes for Tigers over the years and should bring it all here as they fight to get to a bowl game.

No. 8 Texas A&M (8-2) vs. Sam Houston State (8-2): Giant-killing Aggies, fresh from upset of then No. 1 Alabama, need to avoid a letdown. Heisman Trophy hopeful Johnny Manziel continues to impress at QB. Sam Houston is no slouch and is ranked No. 3 in FCS and headed to the playoffs after a runner-up finish last season.

No. 9 South Carolina (8-2) vs. Wofford (8-2): Now that Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier has said Wofford is as good as some of the teams in the NFL, he has the Terriers up for a huge letdown. SC has huge showdown with Clemson next week in Death Valley.

No. 10 Florida State (9-1) at Maryland (4-6): the Seminoles control their own destiny in the ACC and face an injury-plagued Terrapin side that starts a freshman linebacker at quarterback.

No. 11 Clemson (9-1) vs. North Carolina State (6-4): The Tigers lost their ACC title hopes after losing to Florida State. Still, they take a six-game winning streak into a game with the bowl-eligible Wolfpack.

No. 12 Oklahoma (7-2) vs. West Virginia (5-4): The Big 12 title is a long, long shot for the Sooners. The Mountaineers have lost four straight games by an average of 24.5 ppg and are sadder than if someone stole the couch off their front lawn and the tires that rimmed their driveway.

No. 13 Stanford (8-2) at No. 1 Oregon (10-0): Stanford’s only hope is to mount a rushing attack with talented running back Stepfan Taylor (4th in Pac-12 with 106.1 ypg) and hope that freshman quarterback Kevin Hogan doesn’t implode. Stanford must win the time of possession game. The Cardinal has an outside chance to win the Pac-12 North, but must beat Oregon and UCLA. Good luck with that.

No. 14 Nebraska (8-2) vs. Minnesota (6-4): The Huskers have had to rally from behind in four of their wins. Minnesota has lost 23 of 24 to ranked foes and hasn’t beaten a ranked team on the road since 2005. Big 10 Legends Division title and Rose Bowl prize awaits.

No. 15 Texas (8-2) vs. TCU (6-4): Texas depth will be too much for Frogs. Besides, Longhorns have a lot more at stake. Beat TCU and somehow upset Kansas State at Manhattan, Kan., and the ‘Horns are probably in a BCS bowl game.

No. 16 Oregon State (7-2) at Cal (3-8): Cal is on its worst losing streak (four in a row) in 11 years and facing the Beavers, who have lost two of three and could get caught looking ahead to Civil War with Oregon. QB Sean Mannion, who started the season before getting hurt, replaces injured QB Cody Vaz. Cal coach Jeff Tedford meets with the AD next week to discuss his future. Not good.

No. 17 UCLA (7-3) vs. No. 18 USC (8-2): Victory Bell at stake, and this time the ball boy will be on the UCLA sidelines to prevent under inflation of pigskins. UCLA is among Pac-12 leaders in takeaways with 25. USC is Lane Kiffin-sloppy, a Pac-12-worst with 26 turnovers, 13 in the last three games.

No. 18 USC at No. 17 UCLA: Trojans wide receiver Marqise Lee had 13 grabs for 224 yards and two touchdowns last time these two met. He will have to be stopped. Trojans QB Matt Barkley is doing a Philip Rivers imitation. He’s thrown seven picks in the last three games, two of them losses.

No. 19 Louisville (9-1) vs. Connecticut (4-6): Louisville must win out, beating the Huskies and then Rutgers, to win the Big East and get a BCS berth. Cardinals lost star junior running back Senorise Perry, who had 705 yards and 11 TDs.

No. 20 Louisiana Tech (9-1) vs. Utah State (8-2): Anybody who thinks that La. Tech isn't for real consider this: the team's only loss this season is to Texas A&M, the team that beat No. 1 Alabama last week. And the Bulldogs have one of the most exciting offenses in the nation, averaging 53.4 points a game. Louisiana Tech still has a real shot at a BCS berth, but will face a stiff test in Utah State.

No. 21 Michigan (7-3) vs. Iowa (4-6): Michigan’s seniors have never beaten Iowa, but Iowa has lost four straight going in here. The Wolverines need help to win the Big Ten’s Legends Division. QB Denard Robinson is still hurting (elbow), so QB Devin Gardner, a better pure passer, likely will start.

No. 22 Rutgers (8-1) at Cincinnati (7-2): Rutgers must win here, next week at Pitt and then at home to Louisville to get a first-ever BCS bid. The Bearcats will be tough with a Big East-leading scoring offense (34.2 ppg) and rushing attack (226.8 ypg).

No. 23 Texas Tech (7-3) at Oklahoma State (6-3): The Texans have lost three straight to Oklahoma State, including last year’s embarrassing, 66-6 loss in Lubbock. The Red Raiders have lost their last four in Stillwater.

No. 24 Oklahoma State (6-3) vs. Texas Tech (7-3): This is a classic trap game for Oklahoma State, which will face off against rival Oklahoma next week.

No. 25 Washington (6-4) at Colorado (1-9): Not many four loss teams make this poll, but the fact that three of Washingtons' four losses came to ranked teams makes it a little easier to swallow. Still, the Huskies have been outscored by their opponents by an average score of 25.2-22.0. Still, Colorado is one of the worst teams in football, so this should be a Washington win.
